This thread has revealed to me the futility of thinking that I won't eventually buy a WiiU. If Wind Waker looks this good the next true WiiU Zelda is going to be a day 1, I must have it ASAP purchase.

Playing this again with the new graphical touches has me hoping

Spoiler

against hope

that the new Zelda uses this art style again.

 

[stuminus3]

This topic has convinced me to buy this as soon as I get my Wii U back from repair even though I thought I could skip it since I played the GC version to death. Wow.

Agreed, just make Link older and it'll be a home run.

Different lighting?? The light sources are different.

The shading is distinctly different. Can someone please confirm if there are or aren't in-game cel-shading settings?

There are no such settings.

There is no such thing. The angle is different, the lighting is different and the damage on the enemy is different.

 

[GDHamell]

Man, I love the cross eyed shots.

The shading style seems to change depending on the lighting. Especially notable when indoors or when you open a treasure chest.

Aw, I was getting excited for a second.

To me this looks very stylistically inconsistent.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

How come these screens look so different, are there actually video settings in the game? The latter one looks far better.

The textures on Gohma are different because he's taken damage.

I'm assuming that's what you meant since otherwise they're fairly identical.

Think he means more like how Link doesn't look cel shaded in the one pic. It's true, there are times he doesn't. The entrance to Dragon Roost Cavern for example.

I figured, it was a failed joke.

But those two pictures aren't anywhere close to the opposite ends of the game's spectrum.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

I think I actually caught the tingle bottle with this post in it. Did you make it?

Yes, I did
Where did you find it?

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Instead of trying to frame money shots I've been messing around trying to get some of the new effects on camera.

The grass looks amazing, ice arrows give off light now, heat distortion is turned up to 11 and dat DOF.

edit:

this one was a pain to take

 

[watershed]

This game makes me really hope Nintendo chooses another "non-realistic" artstyle for Zelda Wii U. I want something crazy colorful and expressive.

It will also help aid in it not aging like shit as well. We can only hope.

This one was posted on Linkstagram today:

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Something about the lighting in this area is really nice.

 

[SuperPac]

There are so many cool screenshottable moments in the game I almost find myself every few minutes thinking "ooh I should post that to Miiverse" but think "nah, I'll just be spamming people with WWHD shots". Game just looks so good, not that the original was any particular slouch either. Timeless.

Shine get?

I got the same pic on dolphin

Amazing!

[The Boat]

I wish the European community would go up so I could take screenshots...

 

[InternHertz]

I only took 2 shots during my session. One I directly uploaded to Miiverse, the title screen. The other, not yet uploaded, is a selfie with the first full heart in the background.

Not really interesting, but here's the title screen one.

Love everything being posted here. If anyone's interested in adding me to their WiiU friends list, my NNID is SpaceDonkeys. Let me know you're from the Zelda screenshot thread!

Is that Gobul?

I think he is expressing how beautiful and different the new version looks.

Some of the shots have amazing lighting (like the first two). The rest of them aren't all that impressive unfortunately =(.

Wow, PCs are more powerful than consoles?

Are the textures redone in a pack by someone, or does dolphin do that by itself?

No, consoles always win
emulator never catch up the next gen consoles

the texture pack comes from Hypatia's High Res Wind Waker Texture Mod

the only thing I see is Phi in Wind Waker, wat

Why is Link flying there ?

 

[Madao]

Why is Link flying there ?

Zombie Hover.

that's a glitch that wasn't patched in this version. it is much less useful now that Tingle Tuner doesn't exist though.

If the textures are redone then it's not really "Wind Waker" as Nintendo made it, and not comparable to WW HD.

Aren't there crazily modded old PC games that might look better than more recent games? Does that really prove anything?

Trying to think of an example but I don't play many PC games recently. I heard older Elder Scrolls games (maybe IV) are heavily modded. If they look better then Skyrim now, are Skyrim's looks devalued?

[DeviousAngel]

Holy cow, the lighting in this game is exquisite

 

[metsallica]

Anyone have a shot of Link's amazing "double magic" reaction? Either 1080p or from Miiverse? My first GAF avatar was of that moment, thinking about bringing it out of retirement!

Here's a cropped image from the GCN version to refresh memories:

 

[equippedwithtowel]

The first two were showcasing lighting.

The others were showing off distortion and DOF in the game.

And the model viewer and grass look great.

 

[EhoaVash]

during daylight the game looks amazing

looks much better than that, the grass and water really looks outstanding but EEK there are some issues here mainly framerate is shit when ever you're on the boat and try to bomb. Especially when you get to

Spoiler

forsaken fortress and are getting bombed from all direction

the framerate is so bad that it's hard to even move the boat. also I'm loving the miiverse bottle messages, very addicting to collect even though most of them are stupid, unfunny messages with pictures.

In honor of this I present two of my favorite selfies with captions

Heh, Link's face.
